(the ones in the middle above the air dam next to the number plate position)

Keep them in there I say.

Where did you get it from? Import it yourself or buy it locally? Or did it come on your car?

bought it second hand from someone on here that happened to have it lying around brand new unfitted in primer

they are N1 vents, i'm not a fan of them however, they look out of place. (my old GTR front bar had them too)

i am tending to go with mitchy they look kinda out of place on a wagon though it makes it look more agressive. i am tempted to flip a coin.

and everyone else seams to want to leave them for the simple fact of airflow

It's a family wagon not a race car? not to concerned a bout air flow as that huge air dam below kinda let more than ample in and the holes will be blocked by bar rio so cery limited air is going to pass through them.

so wich "LOOKS" better >_<

looks better without. ;)

and yeah, you'd have the cut the support bar (cut it MORE if you have a FMIC) for them to actually be useful.

that large opening in the front will give more than ample air flow, my 33 gts-t with a similar sized opening never got over 1/3 of the temp guage, regardless of how it was driven. :nyaanyaa:

I agree with Mitch too, I never really liked them on GT-Rs, so I wouldn't subject my Stagea to them if I had a 260RS front bar. I think they look like an afterthought.

But this is pretty much a matter of personal opinion and taste.

have a look at andy's old car, cause his car looked friggen porn and he had that front bar but i just cant remember whether he had them in or not.

yep had a look at andy's old car. Don't now about you, but i can't quite tell? :)

this will be the new front bar for my new EGA41T (andy's old one)

this is what it looked like before. this time around it will have a dolfin grille though.

will be happy when it's back on the road.

and before you all ask. cut a long story short. Don't get destacted by your girlfriend whilst driving in heavy traffic

Looks like it went to a good home hey Andy!

(sorry Matthew, no malice intended)

lol, what can you do. i just hope he gets it back to its former glory.

plus i want to know what time it does down the quarter, as i never had the chance to get it on the strip.

anyways, i have a new car now, its called a toyota hiace, roof racks, shelves and racking, 3 ladders, and a bazooka, and best of all free fuel, gotta love the work van, its sexy as :)

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
